Douwe Dabbert #23

A cozy tavern scene bursts to life on this 2022 entry in the beloved Dutch adventure series, as the stout, white-bearded Douwe Dabbert holds court before a crowd of colorful onlookers — weathered travelers, a dark-haired young woman, and a cluster of tiny fairies dancing in the moonlit window behind him. The subtitle Een wonderlijk raamvertelling ("A wonderful frame narrative") promises a story-within-a-story structure, and Thom Roep and Piet Wijn deliver a cover that radiates warmth, humor, and just a hint of magic. Uitgeverij L brings this charming volume to fans of the long-running series in fine style.
